HomeCare.com Launches Caregiver Platform & Service in Philadelphia

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeCare.com announced its launch in Philadelphia today, giving families access to their Professional Caregiver Platform.  Families can now select from hundreds of high-quality, certified caregivers based on price, licenses, experience, and ratings in their service area.  HomeCare.com Care Advisors help to make the process easy.  By selecting their caregivers directly, families save up to 35% on homecare costs compared with traditional agency models.  It's also a win for caregivers, who get increased earnings potential with wages starting at $15/ hour.

"Traditional home care is broken," said Todd Walrath, founder of HomeCare.com, whose 10 years in the senior care market showed him first-hand the challenges of families trying to find affordable, quality home care. "The current home care market charges families upwards of $25/hour but professional caregivers barely make a living wage averaging $10/hour nationally.  We wanted to develop an approach where we could attract and retain the best caregivers.  HomeCare.com allows the professional caregiver to set their own wage, an attractive feature for those who typically work through an agency.  Ratings and reviews reinforce quality care, and reward professionals over the long term. By directly connecting the families and the professional caregivers, both parties are able to benefit.  Background checked, referenced checked, licenses verified, driver's license verified, ratings and reviews, everything families need to find quality home care professionals affordably," said Walrath.

"Families want the power to choose the person who is providing care, not have someone assigned to their loved one," noted Walrath.  HomeCare.com allows families to select exactly the services their loved one require including: companionship, personal care, medication reminders, transportation, exercise and mobility, dementia care and household support.

The HomeCare.com mobile app shows the family what services were provided in the home including GPS verified check-ins, daily visit reports, and real–time, secure text messages. Families now have transparency and visibility into the care of their loved one.

Families in need of home care can visit www.homecare.com or call 1 (866) 290-5866 to find the perfect care professional at just the right price.  Caregivers who wish to provide their services through Homecare.com can also register and start on the path to higher earning potential and great family matches.
